To me I'll say I see no fun in dating without commitment, it's incomplete, and it is uncool,I'll rather not date than date and not be committed

"Going out"? Okay. People mean different things by that these days.

Anyway, whatever you mean by it, I'd say that if you're doing what you want to be doing, then you'll have a good time. If you're trying to do something else, and just end up doing what you do, it's depressing.

So if screwing around with a variety of people is what you want, then do that. But if you're actually trying to find a mate, and end up instead on a series of one or two nighters, then that would be disappointing.

I'm not cut out for the screwing around life myself. No good at it, and it annoys me to spend time with someone, and have it be meaningless.

But each to their own.

Wow... I actually forgot that dating generally implies sleeping with someone, which I personally dont subscribe to. Dating for me is an agreement with someone else to get to get better acquainted in order to take their interactions to whatever level that BOTH parties agree upon. I personally dont sleep with guys to get better acquainted. That choice for me comes after knowing the person long enough to feel that theres potential for us becoming very significant in each others lives . That is a very selective process for me. That said, i respect peoples right to sleep with whomever and whenever they wish as long as they communicate their intentions honestly.And dating without commitment is mire fun , but dating the right person with commitment is way more fulfilling. :smile:

I like dating where two adults who have enough respect for each other as human beings can actually do activities that don't come with a price tag of you must have sex with me or vice versa or you must agree to want to be with me forever just because I decide I might enjoy say sharing watching a movie or eating a meal.

Does that mean I want to date someone who has no concept of developing a relationship that lasts more than a few hours no; people with the attention span of an hour or so are usually boring and selfish. It just means I don't have that expectation from the onset with every person that every compatible encounter is going to end up in a serious until death us do part affiliation.

But I also would not bother to go out with someone if all I thought I could tolerate about them is an hour or two or doing only the "date" what ever that invitation was. Generally I have a better understanding of who a person is before I agree to go out.

I am more comfortable with someone having at least vaguely similar values and lifestyles and goals in mind. Most people have a fairly fixed lifestyle when you meet them, if you bother to ask, it is not hard to figure out.

I am not sure when having Sex became and obligation of dating but it hasn't happen in my books. Sex is something I do when I want to be at a much more serious level of relationship with someone than just a date. I have to have genuine attraction and feelings for that person that are a lot more serious level.
